I dont know the answer to your question but If you go any bigger I look into getting a custom swing set steering done.

skyjacker 6" is the biggest you can get. Fix your track bar like I told you and you'll be fine

how does this look, new tie rod and drag link...? but still pulls side to side, but not as bad as it was...

Looks better but your upper track bar mount needs to be up higher ( theres too much drop in it )

too much drop in it? not quite following you....? i need to make the bar longer and move the upper end up higher? bar is maxed out right now...

NOT like that!!! Thats ttb superrunner suspension...you DO NOT need that. The link on the driver side of the track bar needs to be moved UP.

here is another pic of that upper mount

I'd drill another hole in that about an inch up. You might have to notch the mount ever so slightly but It wouldnt take long

ill give it a try...thanks...

Re: drop pitman?
 
Yea dude, just make SURE the track bar and drag link are parallel with each other. Then your front end will be more or less finished...then on to the rear...
